NEW YORK: India’s challenge at the US Open stayed alive after Rohan Bopanna progressed to the Round of 16 in the men’s doubles, partnering Australia’s Matthew Ebden, at Flushing Meadows, in New York, on Friday.
The sixth seeds needed a little over an hour to overcome the unseeded pairing of Roman Safiullin of Russia and Kazakhstan’s Andrey Golubev 6-3, 6-3 in a second round match. They will meet the un-seeded British pair of Julian Cash and Henry Patten in the Round of 16 on Sunday.
Bopanna also advanced the mixed doubles, partnering Indonesia’s Aldila Sutjiadi for the event. The pair won their opening match on Friday, beating Andreas Miles and Vera Zvonareva 7-5, 6-2. Agencies
